Hello everyone,

I'm trying to run a DTS package on the db lying on the server20 from a remote server. When I open the SQL Entr Mngr it shows I'm connected to Server20 and it runs queries as well. But when I try to run the DTS package from the remote server on server20 then it gives me this error.
[ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen(Connect())
and it doesn't execute. Can anybody tell me whats goin on?
I have checked the connection is up and running to server20.

your help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

DTS is a client application.
When you save it in sql server it just stores the package data - nothing to do with where it processes.
When you run a package it extracts the data to the client and runs it using the connections in the package.

The fact that you have a connection in enterprise manager is nothing to do with dts.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Thanks for you help.

I haven't work with DTS before so I'm new with the tool.
So what do you think is the problem then? Why am I getting that error?
